Hi, I’m Louis, I am a carbon-based bipedal life form descended from an 🐒. This year I made 3000 contributions on GitHub, read 50 books, and written 500,000 words on a public Obsidian. I also founded an AI startup that got incubated in the latest Techstars batch.
I have specific interests in:
- Artificial intelligence (language models, multi-modal, cross-modal, unsupervised, alignment, private computation)
- Using tech to augment the human condition: BCI, memory streams, second-brains, AI assistants, solving aging, suffering, and death
- Philosophy of science, science, compound knowledge, prompting humans and machines, structured and deep conversations
- Environment design & personal growth
I’m currently about to change what I spend most of my days on, please read this.
Additionally, if you want to know more about my personality, here is a cheatsheet.
I’m crazy about big questions, and don’t like weather-conversations so I created langa.me.

Conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC) is a cosmological model in the framework of general relativity and proposed by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose. In CCC, the universe iterates through infinite cycles, with the future timelike infinity (i.e. the latest end of any possible timescale evaluated for any point in space) of each previous iteration being identified with the Big Bang singularity of the next. Penrose popularized this theory in his 2010 book Cycles of Time: An Extraordinary New View of the Universe.

Journalism isn’t Lindy compatible. Information transmits organically by word of mouth, which circulates in a two-way manner.

For each candidate for a given role, ask the same or similar interview questions. This will allow you to calibrate candidates across identical questions.
